The best Tuaran Mee in Sabah is Tuaran Mee Restoran (Tuaran Town, Tuaran). Also great: Lok Kyun Restaurant, Seng Hing Coffee Shop and Tuaran Mee Restoran.
Order: Fried Tuaran mee with char siew and egg rolls
The shop locals point to first when you ask where Tuaran mee is done properly, right in the town that gave the noodle its name. Handmade egg noodles are wok-fried until springy and slightly smoky, and there's a lihing (rice wine) version if you want the full Sabahan treatment.
Order: Fried Tuaran mee with seafood
Tuaran's other heavyweight, a regular on TV food shows and a Sabah Food Awards heritage winner for this very dish. The noodles come out golden, bouncy and properly wok-kissed โ worth the 40-minute drive from KK on its own.
Sinsuran, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Order: Tuaran mee fried with a splash of lihing rice wine
The city's go-to for Tuaran mee without leaving town โ a 40-plus-year-old Sinsuran kopitiam that's packed by mid-morning. They fry the noodles with a dash of lihing for extra aroma; tourists and office crowds both queue for it.
Order: Tuaran mee lihing; Tuaran mee with roast pork
The Inanam outpost of the Tuaran original, handy for KK folk who can't make the drive north. Same handmade noodles, plus a menu of variations including the rice-wine-laced lihing version.
